Configuring DKIM authentication for your Combell emails
In order to set up DKIM for your domain for the Combell emails, you need to create a DKIM key using a DKIM record generator tool.
Once you create the new DKIM key, you will need to add it on your domain's Configuration page in Valimail Enforce.
For any help regarding the SPF and DKIM setup, you can contact the Combell support team.
